Of course it's evil to paint aluminum tanks. It's also illegal in 37 states... The bare aluminum police will write you a ticket for the first offense. Last year alone, over 187 Airstream owners were jailed and fined heavily for painting their aluminum tanks. President Obama weighed in on the issue, saying, "I have a phone and a pen, and we will make this federal law! The desecration of the sacred aluminum must be stopped!" I never realized just how great of a president he is...

-Red, going just a bit over the top... A bit.

And even beside all that, the paint I applied illegally over the tanks has been declared illegal expostfacto by executive order 152846. I am required by law to remove the paint from the tanks without breaking the surface of the paint film, or face a 25 year sentence.

Of course I may keep the paint and avoid prison if I make a substantial donation to the DNC.

You'll probably need an asbestos abatement team if you don't have the MSDS of the paint to prove it doesn't contain asbestos... See what you've done here?

Having dealt with asbestos and lead abatement in my career, I'm beginning to regret that AirForums doesn't have a "cringing" emoticon for reacting to humor like this. Had you said "lead" rather than "asbestos" it would have sounded exactly like a real EPA ruling!
